WNBA STAR A'JA WILSON MADE CHICAGO SKY ROOKIE LOOK AWFUL

The Chicago Sky earned a big win in a great game against the Indiana Fever last Sunday, but the young team was hit with a dose of reality from one of the league's best on Thursday night.

The Aces picked up a win over the Sky on the road in Chicago, and A'ja Wilson led the way.

The two-time league MVP put up 31 points and nine rebounds in the win, and she was able to outplay both Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso.

Wilson made things look easy against Cardoso on one play in particular, breaking out an up-and-under move and drawing a foul while making an easy basket.

It was that kind of night for the Aces, as three players scored 20 or more points. 

Marina Mabrey, Chennedy Carter and rookie Angel Reese starred for the Sky in Thursday's game.

Mabrey and Carter each scored over 20, while Reese picked up another double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds.

It was her ninth double-double in a row, tying Reese with Candace Parker for the most consecutive double-doubles in league history.

The Aces appear to have hit their stride after incorporating Chelsea Gray back into the lineup. They've won three games in a row, and will look to push their winning streak to four on Saturday against the Washington Mystics.

The Sky will look to get back into the win column on Sunday against a Minnesota Lynx team that has already picked up hardware this season. 

The Lynx defeated the New York Liberty to win the Commissioner's Cup, becoming the fourth champion in as many years for the in-season tournament.
